"The Persistence of Memory" (2/12/13 Moment with Bob read by Mike Malloy)

February 12, 2013, hour 2, segment 3, topic 1: Mike reads a Bob Alexander rant on the loss of progressive media and end of civil liberties.

The rant in full: http://www.superbeans.com/rant_02_12_13.htm

EXCERPTS:

Hey Mike,

The Elite surround themselves with their peers, minions, and court jesters. Their minions are expendable, the jesters replaceable, and periodically they wage war against their peers. But ... The Elite can always agree on this:

They never support anything that would thwart whatever it is they want to do. And they want what all gangsters have always wanted ... more.

...

Our benign (so-far) Fascistic Overlords ... benign domestically anyway unless you're not white ... don't want Progressive Talk Radio. And so there will be no more Progressive Talk Radio. Back in the day Hitler's, Mussolini's, and Stalin's thugs would have physically destroyed the radio stations and done something pretty horrible to the people who ran the stations. This was an effective visual aid for anyone who might have thought about getting into the anti-regime radio business. These days The Elite don't "disappear" the folks who produce progressive radio to concentration camps or gulags. They just make them disappear from the radio.

You can't find Mike Malloy, Thom Hartmann, or Stephanie Miller on KPTK in Seattle anymore. Not because their ratings were low but because The Elite won't allow Progressive Talk Radio to exist in Seattle. Now Seattle has Three, count 'em Three, sports radio stations and of course there's always room for Conservative talking points radio.

CBS said they dumped KPTK's format of Progressive Talk and embraced Sports talk because of low ratings. I say that's a lie.

"What!!!???" sputters radio executives across the land clutching their pearls and Arbitron ratings books. "Are you saying the hard-wrought data laboriously collected by Arbitron drones aren't nuggets of the purest gold?"
